The document describes an interoperable spatial information system called the Interoperable Fire Management Planning (IFMP) knowledge base that provides current fire risk data and information to support the development of integrated regional and local fire management plans. The IFMP knowledge base allows users to view spatial data on risks like bushfires and vegetation fires, assets from past bushfire incidents, and allows filtering and querying of data from internal and external databases on attributes and locations of high priority risks, towns at high risk of fire, and landslides. Phases 1 and 2 of the project are complete and publicly available, with Phases 3-5 to be implemented by June 2014.

2. Project aim
• Design and implement an interoperable spatial
information system, to provide the most current
relevant information and fire risk data in a manner
that will support the community to develop their
integrated regional and local fire management plans
• Outputs from Phases 1 and 2 are publicly available
at http://maps.ubspatial.com.au/ifmp .
• Phases 3-5 are being implemented in the period to
30 June 2014

3. Knowledge Base – default screen

4. Risks: Bushfire/ Vegetation Fire (1km incident grids)

5. Assets: VFRR database (from bushfire incidents)

6. Filtering: VFRR attribute data (by priority)

7. Querying : VFRR spatial data (internal database)

9. Querying : High Risk Towns spatial data (external
documents)

11. Querying : Landslides spatial data (external database)
